I would agree on most part. Can you explain the parts in bold? What do you mean 'a retina screen by definition is superior to 1080'?
I think the camera is quite decent at 8MP already, though I can see why some hardcore photographers would want it to be upgraded to 12MP.
The most interesting thing that at least 90% of the people here want to see is improvements to battery life, and by that, that does not mean +1 or 2 hrs.
Making the iPhone thinner while simultaneously increasing battery life seems to be the only thing Apple has not yet been able to achieve.
When I typed that I thought I forgot something lol yes battery life is the 3rd and final most important thing to me. Size is likely to increase to 4.7" but any bigger I feel sacrafices portability.
As for what I said happy to explain, well 1080p refers to as we know the anount of pixels and people often say they want the retina screen to be a 1080p screen. This however is a downgrade from a Retina screen as you are limiting the PPI, whereas a Retina screen is designed so individual pixels arent discernible by the human eye. This means as iPhone screen sizes increase so to will the pixel density so we don't lose the sharpness detail we have come to love.
Apple market this with their retina hardware releases showing that for its size the retina devices have more pixels than our 1080 tv's at home. The reason this is not an issue on the tv is the distance we view them from, likewise a 1080 phone screen is fine to a certain soze but the larger you go youw will lose detail as the pixels get larger.
Hope that helps.

In addition to the basic hardware bumps you already mentioned, I want to believe that Apple will focus on adding more cloud services to the iCloud experience, things like:
- Larger back up space, when you buy an apple product you get the same size server size for your iCloud account
- Expand on Apps that leverage the 64bit processors: more powerful productivity Apps and Games
- Smart Home products that can be easily monitored and controlled via iOS: video surveillance, alarm sensors, control appliances, etc
Hardware wants, not necessarily predictions:
-Stereo speakers.
-A dedicated AirPlay module that can communicate with any other old iOS device and enable those other iOS devices to run as AirPlay players. Additionally be able to control their cameras and receive their input. So we can reuse old iOS devices for playback/or access their cameras remotely.
And I think they will releasing a new iOS 8.
If we are going for hoped and dreams then I still want an iFolder, a unified file manager at the hear t of the OS where all incoming files are accessible to view, edit and share.
